Caminhos cruzados Encruzado reserva white 2023

From Caminhos Cruzados in Portugal, this dry white wine is built around Encruzado from the 2023 vintage. New to Encruzado? Encruzado is Portugal's finest Dão white grape, giving structured, age-worthy wines with citrus, mineral and a creamy texture. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. It has the body for roast chicken, creamy pasta or a buttery fish dish. Chill it down and enjoy.
